EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Vince Carter (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3248) is going home to Orlando, and to the Eastern Conference champion Magic.

The New Jersey Nets (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/teams/nets) have dealt the eight-time NBA All Star, who grew up in Daytona Beach and lives in Orlando, and forward Ryan Anderson (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/4483) to the Magic. The Nets get point guard Rafer Alston (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3282), shooting guard Courtney Lee (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/4484) and power forward Tony Battie (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3176).

The trade gives the Magic another star in a lineup that already includes Dwight Howard (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3818) and Rashard Lewis (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3275). The deal might also convince Hedo Turkoglu (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3415), who can become a free agent on July 1, to remain with the Magic.

Orlando is hoping Carter, who has averaged 23.5 points over a 10-year pro career, will provide center Dwight Howard with a perimeter scorer who can create his own shot.

Maybe now that he is on a team that can actually win he will change his ways. Van Gundy will tear him apart if he pulls his antics.

If the old Vince shows up the slasher/dunker not the fade away jump shooter they made a great move...
